Narration Supposing Books The Sandman: King of Dreams

The first and only comic book to receive the World Fantasy Award, The Sandman continues to break new ground in the comic book medium and beyond. Author Alisa Kwitney explores its beginnings and chronicles the comic's emergence as a unique and undeniable force in the literary world. Richly illustrated, this history shows how Gaiman and The Sandman's gifted artists, such as Dave McKean and Yoshitaka Amano, create a haunting (and haunted) main character who wields immense power. With illustrations never before published, behind-the-scenes stories, handwritten notes, and interviews with Gaiman himself, this volume is a true testament to the dream king and his creator.

Column Based On Books The Sandman: King of Dreams

This basically a "highlights & overview" of a great comic series I was somewhat familiar with. I suppose it did it's job in that I would like to read the complete,entire,& whole series.

It was a great overview of the entire series. I felt that it could have delved just a little bit deeper and packed a little bit more analysis and content into it. However, it makes the series accessible to old and new, and is a very nice work of art to have out for the guests. I would recommend this book.

Nice summary of the Sandman series, but a bit shorter and less detailed than I would have liked.

A good overview of sandman with some amazing pictures.

This was actually my first Sandman book. I initially thought it was a compilation of several volumes but was surprised to find out that it was in fact the "history" of The Sandman. Great coffee table book, though.

This isn't the whole series but is a book about the series with lots of sample pages. It follows the original sequence and we see the characters as they were introduced. The artwork, by several artist, is remarkable and quite enough to send a new reader out to see what remains of this wonderful work. The only reason it wasn't 5 stars is the frustration level created by knowing that it will be sheer luck or great labour that will bring forth any of the original material.

A Cliff's notes version of Sandman. If you've read the real Sandman, this provides interesting additional information and beautiful artwork. If you haven't read The Sandman, what is wrong with you? Go read it first.
